The commendation application form for the 98th Guards Division appeared on the desktop of the headquarters in less than an hour. In order to express the importance he attached to this matter, Chuvashov personally sent it.
Sokov took the application form from Chuvasov's hand, glanced at it casually, and handed it to Lunev. There are specialties in the arts, and Lunev has always been responsible for awarding medals or commendations to commanders and soldiers. Even if Sokov wanted to ask, he didn't know how to start, so he simply let the other party do what he wanted.
"Colonel Chuvashov," Sokov asked curiously after asking Chuvashov to sit down: "It's enough to just send this kind of application form to a communications soldier. Why do you need to go there in person?"
"Comrade Commander, I was worried that it was not safe on the road and that the correspondent might make a mistake, so I sent it here in person."
When Sokov heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and said to himself that the city of Kremenchug is your division's defense area, and your division headquarters is less than two blocks away from me. Are you unsafe for me on the road? The defenders in the City of Love are just decorations, can't they even guarantee the safety along the two blocks?
Seeing Sokov's serious expression, Chuvashov realized that his far-fetched excuse had been seen through. He could only laugh twice, and then explained: "Comrade Commander, I just returned to the headquarters and heard that Uzako Lieutenant Colonel Husband said that in order to commend the performance of the Women's Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, you will not only award medals to the combatants, but also promote their ranks. I am here just to verify the accuracy of this news."
"Yes, Comrade Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel Uzakov is right, we did inform you so." Seeing Chuvashov moving his mouth and seeming to want to say something, Sokov added: "But in addition to awards and promotions, we have other considerations for the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion."
"What considerations?"
"I plan to expand them into a women's anti-aircraft artillery regiment so that they can have more strength to ensure the air defense work in the defense area."
"Great, this is really great." When Chuvashov learned that the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion was going to be expanded into a regiment, he couldn't help but beam with joy and said repeatedly: "For us, this is really great news. "
"Colonel Chuvashov," Samyko came over from the side and stared at Chuvashov with strange eyes and asked, "The women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion has been expanded into a regiment. What are you happy about?"
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Chuvashov did not understand the meaning of Samyko's words, and explained to him seriously: "Have you forgotten that the Women's Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion belongs to the 239th Guards Artillery Regiment of our division? group."
"The reason why the Women's Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion is affiliated with the 239th Guards Artillery Regiment is simply because when the troops were reorganized, your division did not have enough artillery." Samyko considered this matter and had to tell Chuvasov sooner or later. Since he Now here, I simply told him the headquarters' next plan: "Now that we want to expand them into a regiment, they will naturally be transferred from your division and reassigned to the direct command of the headquarters."
The smile on Chuvashov's face gradually disappeared, and he soon asked Samyko with a grimace: "Comrade Chief of Staff, is everything you said true? You can't joke about this kind of thing."
"The chief of staff is not joking, this is all true." Sokov said: "The reason why the enemy planes were able to break into the city so smoothly today is that the air defense units along the way did not perform their duties well. In order to avoid similar incidents When the situation arises, I think the headquarters should have an anti-aircraft artillery unit under direct command, and Major Lida’s women’s anti-aircraft artillery regiment is undoubtedly the best candidate.”
"It's not Major Lida, it's Captain..."
Samyko interrupted Chuvashov, who was about to correct Sokov, and explained to him: "We have already greeted Lieutenant Colonel Uzakov. While conferring medals on the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion, we will also Promote them to military rank. Captain Lida will soon become Major Lida, so there should be no problem if Comrade Commander calls her that in advance."
"No, no." Chuvasov did not dare to refute, so he could only agree: "Of course you can call her Major Lida."
"Comrade Commander," Lunev, after reviewing the application form, raised his head and said to Sokov: "My work is done, we can go to the Women's Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion."
Anyway, all kinds of medals had been prepared, so Sokov said readily: "Okay, let's set off now."
Seeing Chuvashov sitting at the table in a daze, Sokov naturally would not leave him behind: "Comrade Colonel, you can also come with us. In any case, the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion is still under the organization of your division. within."
Now that Sokov called his name, Chuvashov could only stand up helplessly, bite the bullet and reply: "Okay, Comrade Commander, I will go to the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion with you."
Ten minutes later, Sokov and others arrived at the location of the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion.
Lida and Ulanova, who had already received the news, along with the entire battalion commanders, lined up to welcome the arrival of Sokov and his party. With them were deputy division commander Lieutenant Colonel Dobrushin and chief of staff Lieutenant Colonel Uzakov.
After the jeep Sokov was riding in stabilized, Dobrushin and Uzakov quickly stepped forward to help Sokov open the door. But the front door of the jeep opened, and the division commander Chuvashov got out of the car, rushed to the rear door first, and opened the door. He blocked the upper part of the car door with one hand to prevent Sokov from hitting his head.
Dobrushin and Uzhakov were both surprised when they saw the division commander showing such attentiveness. However, their first task was to greet Sokov, and they had no time to think about other things. After Sokov stood up straight, the two raised their hands in salute and said in unison: "Comrade Commander, Deputy Commander of the 98th Guards Division Lieutenant Colonel Dobrushin (Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Uzakov) reports to you , welcome to the women’s anti-aircraft artillery camp.”
The commendation application form for the 98th Guards Division appeared on the desktop of the headquarters in less than an hour. In order to express the importance he attached to this matter, Chuvashov personally sent it.
Sokov took the application form from Chuvasov's hand, glanced at it casually, and handed it to Lunev.
